4-6
ingredients
- 2 bunches rainbow chard leaves or 2 bunches red and green swiss chard
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 large leeks, halved lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices (white and pale green parts only)
- 3⁄4 teaspoon fine sea salt
directions
- Cut stems from chard (if leaves are large, cut out coarse portions of rib), then cut stems crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
- Stack chard leaves and roll into cylinders. Cut cylinders crosswise to make 1-inch-thick strips of leaves.
- Heat butter and oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then sauté chard stems and leeks with sea salt and pepper to taste, stirring occasionally, until slightly soft, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add chard leaves and continue to sauté, stirring frequently, until wilted. (If greens begin to brown before they wilt, sprinkle with a few drops of water.).

THis was SOOOO good! Easy to make too. Only difference for me was I used garlic-infused EVOO that I prepare myself......and it is really garlicky. I do suggest making this just prior to serving because it get a bit mushy on standing, found this out when going for seconds. -
This was my first time making chard of any kind, and I found this extremely easy and delicious. I didn't have leeks, and subbed what I had @ home with red onions, and also added minced fresh garlic. -
This was very good! I have rainbow chard and beet greens growing in my garden. I picked them fresh and served this recipe for dinner. Followed exactly as printed, only adding some fresh grated black pepper. Delicious.

A new family favorite.

A nice side dish and really quite beautiful. A little garlic might contribute.

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
